Scribe of Orcus Vol 1 Issue 1

The Scribe of Orcus (formerly the Classic Fantasy Review) is a periodical produced by Goblinoid Games to support “retro-clone” game systems, to provide 'compatible' material for various old-school RPGs. These systems include** OSRIC, Labyrinth Lord, Mutant Future, and GORE. Most issues of the Scribe of Orcus will vary from 5 to 10 pages, and will focus on solid old-school material.

THIS ISSUE

Daniel Proctor presents The Pumpkin Lord of Shady Hollow, a special Halloween adventure for characters of 1st or 2nd level. It has been written for Labyrinth Lord (and compatible Basic Edition games), but with little effort it can be used with OSRIC or First Edition games. The Pumpkin Lord of Shady Hollow is a 7-page adventure and can be completed in one evening of play.

“A fiery meteor from the heavens crashes into Merle Branbrook’s pumpkin patch. This ominous occurrence becomes more troubling and perplexing as the pumpkin vines surrounding the resulting crater grow to form a complete, sinister dome with a small doorway leading inside. One adventuring party enters, never to return. The Hallows eve festival approaches, but will the village of Shady Hollow enjoy this year’s events if the pumpkin patch menace continues to cast a dark shadow over the community? Can another party of brave adventurers clear away the evil from the stars?”

This adventure includes:

*A 7 page adventure that can be completed in 1 session of play.

*Two lair maps featuring 24 areas.

*A map and details of the village of Shady Hollow, which can be used as a staging point for further adventures.

These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
